“The only reason we would not rebook ...”

The only reason we would not rebook is that it was too low for my 6ft 5 inch hubby & he struggled in the rooms but apart from that we loved it & the conservatory was brilliant & a real plus. It was so dog friendly too.

The property

This pretty end-terrace cottage is situated in West Mersea, within easy reach of the local amenities and beaches, and is a perfect bolthole for couples wanting a romantic break on Mersea Island.

Cottage stairs lead straight into a delightful bedroom boasting a comfortable double bed and an en-suite bathroom, ideal for a long soak after a day on the beach.

On the ground floor there is a cosy sitting room, with a comfortable sofa and woodburning stove, which leads through to a well-equipped galley kitchen.

A conservatory at the rear is a lovely peaceful place to relax and enjoy your home-cooked meals whilst discussing your plans for the following day, and during summer months you can even dine alfresco in the enclosed patio garden.

The western main hub of Mersea Island has a fantastic selection of pubs, cafes and restaurants, all within walking distance of your cottage and you can marvel at the rainbow-coloured huts on the beach.

Remember not to leave the island before sampling the famous Mersea oysters from the famous Company Shed.

For watersport enthusiasts there is a wide selection of activities available including windsurfing, sailing, kayaking and kitesurfing, and for those preferring a slower pace of life there are plenty of fishing and crabbing opportunities to be enjoyed.

The island is also ideal for those with a keen interest in the outdoors, with wonderful wildlife, walking and cycling to be enjoyed and if you’ve forgotten to bring your bike with you, then you can always hire one locally.

From the east of the island, during peak times, you can catch a ferry to Brightlingsea to sample some of the famous fish and chips on offer.

With so much to do on this beautiful island, The Cottage is a perfect retreat which will have you wanting to return time and again, and will leave you with many happy holiday memories.
